Happy Monday!
We're off to a wet start this morning, with showers and thunderstorms moving through the area. The heavier rain and storms really start to wrap up this morning, then we'll just see a few scattered showers and pop-up storms on the back end off all of this, for the most part tapering by this afternoon. Good news for us, we are not expecting severe potential with these storms, mostly due to the timing being overnight and with the loss of daytime heating. On the backend, high pressure builds in and we'll see clearing clouds and dry conditions. Highs top out in the low to mid 70s.
Dry air continues through Tuesday, when we'll see mostly sunny skies and highs in the mid 70s. This will be one of the better days of the week.
As we head into Wednesday, we'll start off with a few showers during the earlier part of the day, then storms move in by afternoon. Daytime highs top out in the low 70s on Wednesday.
Showers and storms continue throughout the day on Thursday, with highs topping out in the upper 70s. We'll be keeping an eye on this timeframe for any severe potential as it approaches.
We end the workweek with highs well into the upper 80s on Friday and mostly sunny conditions, with our next round of rain approaching overnight as we kick off the first of the weekend.

Columbus Gas Prices TrackerThe cheapest gas station in the area was $4.06 a gallon while the most expensive was $4.55.
The price for a gallon of gas also remains unchanged nationally at $4.46.
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- From the exterior, not much has changed at Colonial Village since it came into a new developer's hands in March. There are still boarded-up properties and trash, and the grass needs to be mowed.
But changes are going on behind the scenes at the east Columbus property on Rand Avenue that occupies 34 parcels and 96 buildings.
Receivership in the hands of developer Robert J. Weiler Sr. heralded positive changes for residents, City Attorney Zach Klein said at the time: "Residents have suffered far too long, and now, help is here.”
NBC4 attempts a tour of Colonial VillageNBC4 made repeated requests since March 29 through the City Attorney's office, and through the attorney for Weiler, to visit the property of 508 units.
Weiler has shown 30 parties of interested buyers through the property with more scheduled, according to his report to the court.
Biggest sources of immigrants to OhioDuring an unannounced visit by NBC4, multiple people who wanted to speak were intercepted by the property manager or security. Several residents did speak, though, all under the condition of anonymity.
N Forcers hired to secure Colonial VillageN Forcers began on site March 14, hired by the developer. It provides basic security, removes inoperable vehicles, identifies new vacancies in the units and checks out signs of break-ins to boarded units, court documents show.
One resident said they felt safer at Colonial Village because a lot of the problem tenants have moved out. Another said they didn't feel safe, that security guards sat outside the rental office chatting rather than patrolling the premises.
Columbus park shootings worry residentsPolice reports for cruiser district 91, which includes Colonial Village, for April show no crimes reported there.
This is a massive improvement to a property plagued by crime. In its complaint against previous owner Apex Colonial, the City of Columbus said police visited the property over 4,000 times, 500 for violent incidences in 18 months from Jan. 2018 to June 2019.
Maintenance woesThe most consistent complaint was about the maintenance. A couple of people said there was only one maintenance person.
Court documents show it's been difficult to retain maintenance staff. According to the First Report of Receiver filed in Franklin County Court of Common Pleas:
"As of approximately 30 days into the receivership, the maintenance staff consisted of five members, including a supervisor, lead technician, two general technicians, and a grounds worker.
"Each of them worked 40 hours per week, with at least one person on call to cover emergency matters during weekends and off hours. Unfortunately, after it became clear that they would need to engage in hard work at the Property, the maintenance supervisor and a technician quit their employment."
Hayes Gibson, the company in charge of managing the property, has been interviewing replacements and hiring temporary staff, court records show.
Roaches, rodents, bed bugsSix weeks is a short time to make fixes. The receiver's report to the court verified "interior units suffer from a variety of ailments, including: bed bugs, rodent infestation, roach infestation, water damage, holes/cracks in ceilings and walls, non-functional heat or air, broken doors and windows, broken locks, floor damage, and missing life and safety equipment."
The exterior is also in bad shape, with broken windows, bare and rotted wood, and other maintenance problems.
Support for Ukraine in full force at Dublin rallyOne resident, who said his previous home was a storage unit, was happy to live at Colonial Village. Many residents come from Community Shelter Board and Columbus Metropolitan Housing Association's Housing Choice Voucher Program.
Problems with prior owner Apex ColonialApex Colonial owed $800,000 to the City of Columbus for public utilities that resulted in shutoff notices to tenants for electricity, water, and sewer services, court documents show.
Weiler also said that Apex Colonial did not produce a single document directly to the receiver at the time of the report, and hampered access to the rental manager for rental software and files.
"Even the rent roll has proven to be unreliable," the receiver said in court documents, describing the "painstaking process of updating the rent roll. They contacted tenants to determine their status, visited various units, engaged the help of security personnel to identify vacant units, and took other steps to obtain an accurate roll of tenants."
In addition, the school board wants more than $36 million in back taxes.
The flipNo doubt the developer has come into a challenging property at Colonial Village and has been asked to create an enormous number of improvements.
The remit of the receiver, according to court documents, is "to take control of and manage the Property, prepare it for a sale, and ultimately sell the Property free and clear of all claims, liens, and
encumbrances."
Ohio Revised Code 2735.04 allows the developer to "maximize the return from the property to the receivership estate, taking into account the potential cost of holding and operating the property."
Weiler's job is to get Colonial Village into shape to sell, and maximize return.
Selling Colonial VillageGiven the appetite for selling the property, how will the people of Colonial Village know that help has actually arrived?
The receiver's order gives a timeline for fixing the code violations, employing staff and security, inspecting units, and interviewing potential buyers.
Part of qualifying to bid on the property will be a meeting with the city to discuss Colonial Village and the buyer's plans for the property.
The eventual buyer for Colonial Village will need a business plan, the commitment to provide tenant-assistance services and affordable housing, plus front-office staff, maintenance, and security, according to the Motion of Receiver for Approval of Sale Procedures.

Good morning and happy Sunday!
Warm weather continues as we wrap up the weekend. This will be ahead of a cold front which will bring back the chance for rain & storms before knocking down temperatures.
Early this morning, we have wet ground and a light wind leading to areas of fog. If you find yourself in an area with low visibility due to fog, remember to turn on your low beam lights, slow down and plan for extra stopping distance between your car & the car in front of you.
After the fog clears, we'll be left with a mostly sunny sky. Thanks to the sunshine and a warmer than normal start to the morning, temperatures will quickly jump to the mid to upper 80s, which is more than 10 degrees above normal for this time of year.
Overnight as a cold front starts to move in from the west, clouds will increase ahead of the chance for rain & thunderstorms. Thunderstorms will become more widespread by midnight and continue until sunrise Monday. This will lead to a wet morning drive and temperatures in the 60s, which is about 10 degrees warmer than normal for this time of year.
A few showers will linger through the morning and afternoon, but overall we'll start to see clearing as we approach Monday evening thanks to cooler, drier air filling in behind a cold front. Like the name implies, we'll also see cooler temperatures for the start of the week. Monday's high will reach the low to mid 70s, which is right in line with normal for this time of year.
High pressure will move in by Tuesday and bring back in plenty of sunshine. Despite the clear sky, temperatures will stay seasonal and only reach the low to mid 70s.
Another system will lift into the area Wednesday morning. This will bring back the chance for showers Wednesday through the end of the week.
Have a great rest of the weekend!

Nearly 14% of the United States population is composed of immigrants. But in reality, the vast majority of Americans today are here because of relatives who immigrated from other countries some time in the last several hundred years.
And while the distinctive American culture and spirit are the result of blending many diverse cultures and histories, the United States has for centuries had an up-and-down relationship with immigration.
Each era of immigration has been met with reductive ideas and resistance, whether the backlash was directed toward the Chinese, Irish, Italians, or Mexicans. Immigration laws have targeted specific groups at various times, stoking intolerance and preventing people from truly joining American society. Over time, however, as laws changed to be more equitable and immigrants found their footings, we have reaped the rewards of innovation in business, music, art, literature, dance, food, societal norms, entertainment, and sports—all while realizing a greater understanding of and respect for different cultures, religions, and ideas.
Stacker compiled a list of the biggest sources of immigrants to Ohio using data from the U.S. Census Bureau. Keep reading to find out more about the immigrant community in your home state.
